Dawn or bright star
Originally a diminutive of Roxanne, Roxy is derived from the Old Persian name Roshanak. It carries the vibrant meaning of 'dawn' or 'bright,' symbolizing a new beginning or a radiant light. While it has long been used as a nickname, it is increasingly appreciated as a spirited standalone choice.
